Right Elevator Stiffeners Finished 1/4/10)

0.5 Hours -

No pictures, but the right elevator stiffeners are complete.  I spent about a half hour scuffing, cleaning and priming them.  My priming routine was changed slightly as well.  I ran out of MEK and decided to go with acetone this time.  The smell of MEK bothered me so much that I had to wear a respirator.  However, the acetone isn’t quite as noxious and, with the garage door open, no respirator is needed.  The acetone seems to clean the parts as well as the MEK did, but the real test will be to see if the primer has adhered as well as it did after a MEK cleaning.

After priming the stiffeners, I used my squeezer to dimple any stiffener attachment holes that I could ready in the right skin.  There were not very many that were reachable, so the majority will have to be dimpled with a c-frame.
